Yeah scratch what I said earlier. He should have no problem playing 4-3 DE at around 300. Mario says he's 300 now and was in the 290's at DE in Houston. Margus has a similar if not bigger frame so carrying that much weight shouldn't really affect his athleticism.

Could? Maybe... Will he? Who knows? But I know one thing: Age is very much correlated with major injuries, especially on the DL. You don't see many 35 year old D-linemen being dominant, most slow down in their very early thirties. There's always the possibility that you can get ten+ years out of a 25-yo rookie, but I'd place that in the left end of the bell curve.

no one said dominant i said effective.. Abraham is a good example or hell even Andre Carter is a good example.. they were effective around the 35 year mark.. and injuries is with everyone not just a 25 year old.

Jason Taylor, Michael Strahan, Bruce Smith, Reggie White....etc. There's obviously not a set shelf life for players, and there are plenty of examples of big, strong guys playing for a long time. And as we've got to remember with these late-starters, there's not nearly as much wear on their bodies; a 25-year old NFL player who was drafted when he was 21 might have played twice as much "high-level" football - he's probably already had a few nagging injuries. Hunt's going to be a rookie, and thus pretty fresh. It doen't mean he'll play til he's 40, but his "30" might be when he's 32, if you know what I mean.

I thought this deserved a bump after that Sheraton bowl performance. The guy made plays. His closing speed is pretty great. Anyone know how his stock now after his senior year? The Senior Bowl will be a big factor for him. He could make a lot of money that week.

Coul he play end in a 3-4? Probably, but I think it would be almost a waste of his skillset. He has the height/weight of a 3-4 end but he looks like a 4-3 end to me. He can really get to the QB and is insanely explosive for a 6-8 300 pounder. Simply a freak. Age could be an issue, but Hunt has crazy talent. Not a finished product and is a little long in the tooth for a prospect, but he has rare talent. If he learns the game some more and gets with an NFL S&C program, he could be a force.

6'8" 300 was just mentioned. I''ve seen 6'7" 280 and everything in between.

I said 6-8 300 but I am expecting around 6-7 295. If he measures in at that size and runs a 4.7 like people are saying he could, those are Mario Williams triangle numbers. I am expecting some impressive splits as well as vert/bench.
